‘We were delighted with the success of our 2014 exhibition which was attended by a record 2,300 people. Building on that success, we are moving to Stantonbury Leisure Centre this year. This provides us with additional exhibition space on a more compact site so we can offer visitors even more excellent layouts, traders and demonstrations with less walking between halls!’Terry Silver, Exhibition Manager
